I'm not surprised Luis Tiant didn't get in given his recent death. The bitterness over Ron Santo getting in after his death and not during his lifetime led to some extremely critical commentary even though they finally got it right.
I am surprised Tiant got less than 5 votes, though.
I thought Ken Boyer would get a bit more love than that, too.
